If an Ilations Have Own liew Year Customs Almost every nation on earth has welcomed the New Year with some form of ceremony, not, however, on the same date or in the same way. The Druids celebrated the New Year on the shortest day of the year, the time, in their belief, when the sun which had turned away in winter then turned homeward, bringing with It light, warmth and good cheer. The superstitions that cluster around the day began way back in the time of these sun worshippers when the priests led the people to the forests of the gods for small sprigs of mistletoe which would bring them health and prosperity for the year. So important waa the event the people marched in processions to the groves, led by the priests, and there the mistletoe was cut with slcklea of gold. 29, 1949 ASK air of modest pride shines through her otherwise business-lik- e as she looks over the situation with Mrs. Ann Halstead, publisher of the News, that's understandable, too. rp box-offic- the way Robert Mitchum devoured sandwiches . . .
